There is a rebirth mirror in the underworld. Souls who have gone to the underworld to reincarnate can see their past in the mirror, good or bad, what they want to remember or don't want to remember, all of which will appear one by one in the mirror. It is clear at a glance whether you have done evil or good in your life. It was to this underworld that Ao Qingmei brought Hu Meiniang. When Mo Yun, the Lord of the Underworld, heard his men report that the princess of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea had arrived, his face was immediately filled with sorrow. He thought that his men had accidentally offended the lady of the Dragon Palace and she had come to him. He went out to greet her, but when he saw that it was the second princess Ao Qingmei who came, not the third princess who gave him a headache, his tense nerves relaxed and the sorrow on his face was swept away.
"The Second Princess's presence here truly brings honor to our underworld." Mo Yun bowed to Ao Qingmei and his eyes fell on Hu Meiniang standing beside him. "Who is this?"
"Mei Niang greets Lord Hades." Hu Meiniang bowed to Mo Yun.
"It's Miss Mei Niang." Mo Yun smiled and nodded gently, "Please come in and sit down." He let Ao Qingmei and Hu Mei Niang into the underworld, called over his men, and told them to go down and prepare tea and snacks. Mo Yun then asked, "I wonder why the Second Princess and Miss Mei Niang have time to come to my underworld today?"
Ao Qingmei got straight to the point and said, "One does not come to the temple for no reason. Mei Niang and I came here to borrow the mirror of the afterlife from the Lord of Hell. I wonder if the Lord of Hell can give us a favor?"
"No problem." Mo Yun heard that Ao Qingmei was only coming to his underworld to borrow the Rebirth Mirror, so he readily agreed and stood up and said, "Second Princess, Miss Mei Niang, please follow me."
"Thank you, Lord Ming."
Mo Yun personally led the way, and Ao Qingmei and Hu Meiniang followed closely behind him. Hu Meiniang, who was walking at the end, was in a very complicated mood at the moment. She was looking forward to and worried about seeing her past in the mirror of rebirth in a moment. The memories that she had lost and thought she would never find again would soon return to her life in another form. Finally, she would know what she was like before, and more importantly, she would soon know whether she was Yu'er in the story, and whether Ao Ningshuang was the woman in the story, and what was the relationship between them...
"Mei Niang, we're here." Ao Qingmei looked back at the absent-minded Hu Meiniang behind her, frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that her action of bringing Hu Meiniang to the underworld was a little ill-considered. She could see that her elder sister liked Hu Meiniang, and after listening to the story recounted by Hu Meiniang, she was even more certain. She wanted to help her elder sister win back the person she liked, but she did not seriously consider Hu Meiniang's reaction. She was afraid that helping Hu Meiniang to regain her past memories would backfire. With this concern in her heart, Ao Qingmei couldn't help but tentatively asked Hu Meiniang: "Mei Niang, are you sure you want to see the mirror of rebirth? In fact, some things don't have to be remembered, and forgetting is not necessarily a regret. Maybe we should live in the present and cherish the people in front of us, rather than clinging to the past."
Hu Meiniang shook her head and said, "A person who doesn't remember his past is like someone who can only see the brilliance of the sun but not the brightness of the moon. That kind of life is incomplete..." The lonely, thin figure by the Mirror Lake appeared in her mind again, and the eyes that hid countless thoughts flashed before her eyes again and again... Her heart has never been so eager to remember everything in the past as it is now. "No matter what the memories of my previous life were, I hope to remember them." She looked at Ao Qingmei with persistence in her eyes.
"Okay, in that case... then I'll leave the Lord of Hell to you." Since Hu Meiniang insisted, Ao Qingmei stopped persuading her. She nodded to Mo Yun beside her, indicating that he could begin.
Mo Yun understood and said to Hu Meiniang, "Please stand in front of the Rebirth Mirror, Miss Meiniang." The clouds in the Rebirth Mirror were flowing. Mo Yun made a few seals with his hands and muttered a few words. The clouds in the Rebirth Mirror rotated clockwise without wind. The speed was getting faster and faster. Just when Hu Meiniang was dazzled, her eyes suddenly lit up. The clouds dispersed and a cold palace appeared in front of her. On the stone steps of the palace, a woman looked up at the bright moon hanging high above her head in a daze. There was endless loneliness in her eyes. She was dressed in white and lonely. She looked very much like the figure by the Mirror Lake, but it was not her. The woman stared at the moon for a long time, sighed softly, turned around, and walked back to the palace. Even though there was a mirror of rebirth between them, Hu Meiniang could still feel the helplessness and loneliness in the other person's heart. She gently stroked her chest with her hand and continued to stare at the woman in the mirror of rebirth. Just as the woman walked into the palace, a white shadow suddenly jumped into the woman's arms. The woman finally had a faint smile on her face. She gently stroked the petite figure in her arms with soft eyes: "Yu'er, I'm glad you're with me..."
"Ah--" Hu Meiniang's delicate body trembled, staring blankly at the white rabbit in the woman's arms. The moment she saw the white rabbit jump off the ground and transform into a graceful young girl, the memories of her past life suddenly came back to her mind. She stared at the mirror of rebirth, watching the scenes of her past life replay before her eyes, and tears gradually blurred her eyes.
In her previous life, she was a white rabbit accompanying the fairy Chang'e in Guanghan Palace. One day, the fairy Chang'e brought her a fairy. She turned into a human form and had her own name, Yu'er. That day, she secretly ran to the Milky Way to play alone. She didn't know how to swim and fell into the Milky Way. She was so scared that she cried for help. In fact, she didn't have much hope that someone would really save her. But just when she was desperate, someone held her hand tightly and carried her out of the Milky Way. The embrace of the person who saved her was soft and reassuring. That day, she met the most important person in her life, the eldest princess of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, the woman called Ao Ningshuang. She liked to call her Sister Ningshuang instead of the distant name of the eldest princess. She liked pebbles and those beautiful stones, but she didn't know how to swim, so Sister Ningshuang collected the pebbles she liked for her and gave them to her. She liked flowers and plants, because Guanghan Palace was so deserted, and she would feel a little angry about some flowers and plants. When she filled the entire room with the flowers and plants given to her by her sister Ningshuang, she found that those pebbles, those flowers and plants would always remind her of the person who gave them. She began to look forward to every meeting with that person, and she became so happy and joyful with every meeting, but she was so reluctant to leave every time. She began to love daydreaming, just like her master, the fairy Chang'e. Every time she daydreamed, all she thought about was the woman in white who was far away in the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. She knew that she had fallen in love with her.
The author has something to say: How should I describe the pair of Ao Ningshuang and Hu Meiniang? When I wrote them, my thoughts were scattered, immersed in the faint sadness between them. I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like the tone, just skip it and don't read it. The next chapter will be the end of their story, and there will be no extra chapters. Xu Xian is paired with Wu Yulian, and then there are only Mu Yanran and Feng Qinghuan left, and they need to be arranged. Hmm... It's really almost over.
